My new friend: Lobo

So, today started off pretty uneventfully: got up in the morning at 0930to go hand in my final English Assignment, then i biked over to Conestoga, walked around the mall and bought a mother-load of groceries, stuffed 'em all in my bag n then biked home at around 1400.

I made a ton of pasta and pork chops for dinner, ate it, and was just chilling at home, was anticipating going over to Carter's place at 2230 to catch Game 1 of Round 1 of the playoff series betw. the Canucks and the Flames, when i get this call from my housemate at around 2030:

Housemate: Yo raph what u doing?

Raph: uh...not much dude, just kinda reading n stuff, gonna go catch the Canuck's game later tonight. why what's up?

Housemate: uh...dude, can i borrow $60? like do u have cash on u right now?

Raph: what for? i don't got $60 on my here right now...

Housemate: if i take u to a bank machine can u get it today?

Raph: yeah, why?

Housemate: i uh...i went shopping just now, n i was checking out these tattoos at this tattoo place n i saw one that i think i wanna get

Raph: right now?

Housemate: yeah, it's so nice man

Raph: dude...don't u think u can wait for a bit? i mean u can take ur time and decide can't u?

Housemate: but it's really nice dude! i just spent like an hour w/ the guy modifying it n stuff, i wanna get it man, i got $90 on me, n i'm gonna take out $100, so i need another $60. i wanna get it before i go home for the weekend...

Raph: uh...yeah ok. i'll come with you, might as well come check out what they got down there.

Housemate: sweet! k i'll be back to pick u up in like 10 minutes!

(10 minutes later, as i'm meeting him at the front door...)

Housemate: yo, uh hey man...uh...can i uh...borrow $160 instead?

Raph: huh? (raises the eyebrow)

Housemate: yeah...my withdrawal limit for the day's maxed out...

Raph: haaai...alright, yeahyeah let's go...

Soo...yeah, instead of a quiet night at home studying n then watching hockey, i ended up sittin' inside a smoky studio, watching the ink-slinging, cigar chomping "Lobo" (the tattooist, who happens to love the West Coast by the way, and when he found out i was from Vancouver he started telling me all about his plans to move out there to "retire" and open up another shop) carve up my roommate...how lovely. =P
